Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
“‘The Ant Queen 2’ is even better than ‘The Ant Queen’. The plot feels more complete and satisfying and they’ve gotten a lot braver with the visuals.”
“I used to be embarrassed by our domestically produced films, but now, I finally feel like we have a quality production to be proud of.”
“I kept crying while I watched ‘The Ant Queen 2’. I’m not sure why, but it must be because the film was so great.”
In the end, the reviews were generally good. Of course, this was largely due to Kaleidoscope’s friendly approach to the public; it made them feel respected. They could also tell that Emma truly wanted to create a good film for everyone to enjoy and had no ulterior motives.
She was truly sincere!
On the other hand, Springfall had already completed their film a while ago, but still hadn’t released it yet.
As Kaleidoscope’s move was too sudden and unexpected, Elder Nangong was completely unprepared. Not only did he fail to forewarn the Americans, he knew that if he released ‘Parasite’ after ‘The Ant Queen 2’ now, he would be throwing it into the depths of the ocean. After all, with Kaleidoscope’s imp**ssive performance, would people still care about him?
Previously, Nangong Quan had planned to release ‘Parasite’ before ‘The Ant Queen 2’ because he wanted to avoid being compared to it. By releasing it first, the audience wouldn’t be so critical towards it and they’d even feel like it was keeping them company while they waited for ‘The Ant Queen 2’.
But now…
With something so good available, why would anyone bother to watch ‘Parasite’?
Springfall’s staff started to experience disagreements as their dissatisfaction towards the old man reached its limit. At the same time, ‘Parasite’ was being delayed for an unknown amount of time. From the staff’s perspective, Elder Nangong was a jerk that simply wanted to get revenge and he didn’t care about the lives of others.
He was even ruthless enough to poison his own grandson. What wouldn’t he do to others?
A few higher-ups ended up handing in their resignations to Nangong Quan, one after another.
Nangong Quan had long predicted that this would happen, so he understandably let them all go after finalizing their remaining pay.
But, for Elder Nangong, this was another thing to be upset about, “The agency belongs to us and the money is in our hands. We can do whatever we want with it. When did these guys have the right to judge and comment on our decisions?”
“Other people have dignity too,” Nangong Quan replied.
“Plus, I’m sure you know why they’re leaving.”
“This wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t reveal my plan!”
“I already told you that I didn’t reveal anything. Believe it or not, this is the truth,” Nangong Quan began to raise his voice. “Grandfather, you need to remember that I’m the CEO here. If you still want to make a move on me, then go ahead. If you succeed again, then I’ll kneel down to you!”
“Stop saying such useless things. The plan with the Americans will go ahead as planned!”
“I’ve said it before, I won’t get involved with what’s happening in the US. Whether you go ahead with your plan or not, it has nothing to do with me,” Nangong Quan ended the conversation right there, “I really want to see how you plan on defeating the Roborts Family.”
“If you interfere again, I’m not going to acknowledge you as my grandson anymore!”
After giving his warning, Elder Nangong turned around and left Nangong Quan’s office. And, judging by his tone, it seemed he was being serious.
Nangong Quan did not attempt to explain anything because he knew that it would mean nothing.
Even Su Youran suspected her husband of leaking information to the Roborts Family after she heard that ‘The Ant Queen 2’ had been suddenly released. But, Nangong Quan returned home with an exhausted exp**ssion and shook his head, “It would have been great if I had the courage to do that.”
“It really wasn’t you?”
Nangong Quan shook his head again, “I already said long ago that Grandfather wouldn’t be able to compete against Emma and Eric. He just didn’t believe me.”
“What did Grandfather say to you?”
“Grandfather thought the same way as you did: he thought I leaked information to the Roborts Family.”
“Is Grandfather angry?” After saying this, Su Youran suddenly realized a huge issue, “Oh no, Little Eggshell’s playing at a classmate’s house after school today. I’m going to go straight there to pick her up.”
“That’s not necessary. It’s not easy for Little Eggshell to make a friend. Just let her go…” Nangong Quan said as he stretched out his hand to stop Su Youran.
“But…”
In the end, reality proved that Su Youran’s instincts were right. Because, even as night hit, Little Eggshell had not returned home.
The couple sat in the living room with their arms crossed and waited. Finally, they gave the mother of the classmate a phone call. But, the response they got was, “I personally drove Little Eggshell to your front door. Didn’t she go inside?”
After hearing this, Nangong Quan jumped up in anger.
Little Eggshell was taken away, right on front of their home.
“Quan…what do we do now?”
Nangong Quan did not say a word as he pulled out his phone and called his grandfather. His voice was no longer calm as usual. In fact, it was slightly shaky, “Give Cai Er back to me…”
“To guarantee that you no longer get involved in my plan, Cai Er will stay with me for a while. After everything is over, I’ll naturally return her to you.”
“Are you a monster? You won’t even let go of your own great-granddaughter?” Nangong Quan asked furiously. “I already told you that the recent incident had nothing to do with me. Nothing!”
“Since you’re aware that Cai Er is my great-granddaughter, then you should know that I wouldn’t treat her badly. Let’s just leave it at that!”
After saying this, the old man hung up the phone.
“What did your grandfather say?” Su Youran asked. “How can we make him return Little Eggshell?”
“He said we have to wait for everything to be over first!” Nangong Quan said in a tired voice.
“I’m seriously wondering if he’s got something wrong with his brain!” Su Youran said furiously. She then said worriedly, “Little Eggshell is still so young. If she’s forced to live with such a monster, what are we going to do if she’s left with a trauma?”
“Plus, Little Eggshell has a slight cold. Can that monster actually take care of her?”
Seeing the anxious look on Su Youran’s face, Nangong Quan stretched out his arms and hugged her, “I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…”
“What do you have to be sorry about it…?” Su Youran cried. “Others should be saying sorry to you. Why are you saying sorry?”
Without their daughter by their side that night, the couple were destined to have no sleep…
Their hearts hurt too much. In fact, while Nangong Quan was in the study room, Su Youran couldn’t help but give Emma a phone call.
She was out of ideas. At home, she could be Nangong Quan’s gentle wife and Little Eggshell’s loving mother. But, when faced with scum like Elder Nangong, she was at her wits end…
“Emma, please tell me, do you have any way of freeing the father and daughter from that monster?”
Emma never expected that there was so much drama happening because of ‘The Ant Queen 2’. She especially didn’t expect that Elder Nangong would think that their film release was due to leaked information from Nangong Quan.
“If the old man continues to p**ssure us like this, I think…I think I might accidentally kill him one day!”
“Don’t say that. The only reason why Eric and I released our film in this way is because we personally saw Elder Nangong secretly looking at one of our actor’s scripts back when he was hiding amongst our staff. We didn’t want there to be any trouble.”
“Well, this time, I’m actually going to tell you his entire plan. Because, compared to that old bag of bones, I’d rather trust in the two of you. Please help me save Little Eggshell.”
After hearing this, Emma felt a little upset.
“Youran, the biggest help I can give you, is to pretend that I never received this phone call. We won’t make any preparations because it may actually put Little Eggshell in danger.”
What else wouldn’t the old man do?
“But…”
“We’re not going to run and hide. We are ready to play whatever game the old man wants to play. Your job is to not aggravate him any further.”
Did the two families have to reach this point?
What benefit did it have for Elder Nangong?
After hanging up on Su Youran, Emma was quite upset. Luckily, she and Eric were careful. Otherwise, they would have already fallen into one of the old man’s schemes.
However, Su Youran did not entirely explain what was happening in the US in detail. After all, she didn’t exactly know what the old man had planned. But, Kaleidoscope wasn’t afraid.
“I guess, we have to face this head on. Otherwise, the old man will blame the Nangong Couple and possibly vent his anger on a 5-6 year old.”
After Eric heard this, he nodded his head, “Even without Su Youran’s notification, we would not have made a loss anyway.”
“That old man has already turned into a psycho.”
“I’m starting to hate that my Grandfather ratted him out back then…” Eric suddenly said.
